Skoda has added Intelligent Park Assist that manoeuvres the car inside a parking space without any driver input. It will also come with Remote Park Assist that will be accessible via Skoda App on the smartphone from which you can park your car while standing outside.
In the international market, Skoda will be offering four petrol and two diesel engine options that includes two mild-hybrid powertrains as well to further boost the fuel economy. However, if launched in India, the new Octavia is expected to come with petrol engine options only.
